Feeling so lost

I’m in a relationship and it’s been so chaotic these past few months. We’ve been arguing so much about the littlest things and I keep telling him I need him to show me more love and affection. He says he’s not able to if he’s stressed and we are just in this loop of fighting over the same issues. I found out I’m pregnant and after some weeks of fighting, he’s decided I should have an abortion and now he says doesn’t want to live with me anymore. I want to have this baby so bad and I want us to work. I really believe we could work if we try therapy or something but he’s just given up. Our arguments have been getting worse, and it feels tense between us. He’s tired of the arguing, feels disrespected and says he feels he’s unable to meet my expectations. I’m feeling so sad and bitter all the time. I feel lost and unsure of what to do next, and my discernment feels gone. I feel like my desire to start a family with him is clouding my judgement of what is the right thing to do right now. I feel like I’m lacking clarity, I love him so much and this just hurts I feel like crying all the time.

Sorry 😔 to read this but I understand. If you both love each other but aren’t able to figure out what’s the core cause it’s high time you both sit down and have decent communication. Or may be go on a date , do happy things that u would do when first met. Sometimes arguments happens if our needs aren’t met. You’re hormonal and he is probably stressed with what’s coming and you both aren’t able to embrace the change that’s coming. I think if you both love each other n don’t want to end the relationship it’s high time you both seek professional help or go n do some activity that’s safe for u n engaging for both. Men are not emotionally wired as us, there’s a quote… “Women need love. Men need respect. It’s as simple and as complicated as that.”** Emerson Eggerichs. Perhaps why don’t u both start from what grateful thgs u guys r in regards to each other. Rather than starting with u don’t do this n that. M no pro, but I think u both should hug each other tightly for a min.

Very sorry that you're having to go through this. I know when you're blinded by love and desire to be with someone, your judgement could get impaired. One thing I have always felt is if both the partners are not sure about it, or not in a good place, if there's a chance of separation, then having a child will convolute everything to a great degree. So I always suggest to have a baby when you're in a good place with your partner. I won't suggest abortion with this info, but if you're going ahead with the pregnancy, I would want you to consider single parenting as a big possibility n be prepared for it. If u are, then there's nothing stopping u. If you think it's going to worsen everything and make you regret later, talk to a family member about it before making the final decision. I hope things fall back in place for you both, but don't go on with it with just hope. You'll need a lot of love n care during this time n being in agony n relationship issues isn't something you want during the pregnancy.

This is word for word what I’m going through. It’s so tough. We’re actually going to try to live separately until things level back out. He’s very overwhelmed and he and I have decided this would be our best option to salvage what’s left of our relationship. You can always DM me if you want too. I have so much to share.
